do I use alkaline or non-alkaline batteries with my Kodak Easyshare digital camera?

It really makes no difference but if you use alkaline, you won't have to change them so often. Go to Costco and buy the 40 pack Duracell only if they are on sale. Otherwise, buy the 48 pack Kirkland which Consumer's rated as the longest lasting alkaline battery.

The manual says use 2 AA Alkaline ( specifically a GOOD brand of Alkaline) OR 2AA Lithium batteries.It mentions Nickle Hydrate rechargeable batteries can be used as well .The cards are NOT expensive and you can get them at Walmart.Price depends on how many photos you want to be able to take. There is a phone number in booklet you can call 1-800-645-6689 for US to ask about 8SD card.

Haven't tried - as Dave F. said it's only marked for NiCad, NiMH and Alkaline. If it doesn't show BAD on one of those settings, it should charge. I've found with Alkaline that they will recharge but some won't work in a digital camera (depends on brand is what it appears so far).

The best batteries are always going to be Li-Ion, it holds its charge well, it has high current draw rates and Pentax cameras that use AA batteries are not very demanding on both of these. Most Ni-MH have issues with these areas also, other than Eneloops, I have not seen others that work really well (in particular with the K200D). Eneloops hold their charge well, but with heavy use, even they tend to drop below the min voltage and the K200D will report battery low for 5 or 10 min before the batteries recover. Other brands are even worse (maybe PowerEX work well also).

No, not as the camera is designed. A savvy electronics technician could rig an external power supply using disposable batteries (lithium or alkaline), but it would cost more than the camera, and really not be worth the trouble. Both Nikon and Canon make point-and-shoot cameras powered by AA alkalines, although none with an f/1.8 or f/2 lens.

alkaline batteries, ??I think AA, easily purchased. I don't remember if they came with the camera. No to the USB cord, but easily found at Best Buy or a similar store.

I've used only alkaline batteries in them. But you can use any type of AA batteries. I like them a lot.

Yes, I used alkaline when I received the radio because the rechargeable battery was low when I opened the box. I would not put the radio on the charging stand with alkaline batteries.

The Coolpix L28 20.1mp uses 2 AA flashlight batteries. It is best to use Lithium batteries. Next in line would be Alkaline. I have not found a rechargeable battery that really holds up. But, I like the flexibility of using readily available flashlight batteries, and not being limited to proprietary rechargeables. That's one reason I bought this camera.

Most definitely it takes AA batteries. They can be alkaline or metal hydride. Although not specifically stated in the manual, it should accept lithium ion as well and many places point to such compatibility with this and other fuji digital cameras.

I have the Canon S1 and have been using rechargeable NiMH cells in it without problems. However, I have to point out that not all NiMH cells are suitable for digital cameras. I have some several-year-old NiMH cells that have relatively high internal resistance. When the camera is operating (especially with flash on), it may drain more than 1A of peak current. Due to the higher internal resistance, supply voltage can dip below "low battery" mark even when those batteries are fully charged. It is a good idea to clean the battery terminals and battery compartment contacts (with a pencil eraser, for example), to make sure they make good electrical connections. There are also some cells (such as the Energizer 2500mAh) with shockingly high self-discharge rate. If you charge up those cells and leave them in your camera for a few days, they may become completely exhausted before you can take any pictures. Nowadays I only use low self-discharge cells (such as Sanyo eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, Kodak Pre-Charged) in my photo equipment.

NiMH batteries are reuseable - for this one $6 shot = about a dozen AA alkalines over 4 charges e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Instant-Charger-Mobile-Phones/dp/B0093GIME8

This battery charges in the K4500 battery charger. I don't have the Kodak Easyshare dock, so I can't attest to that.

Use 6 AA alkaline batteries only. If you use rechargeable batteries, the power of the rechargeable will not be sufficient.

Mine works with regular alkaline batteries. Sounds like a defective unit, not a battery problem.

No. Regular alkaline batteries are designed for one lifetime use. Once depleted, they must be disposed of. Rechargeable batteries are designed for recharging. As mentioned before, do not use the QUICK recharger.

The camera comes with a non-rechargeable batery which will last quite awhile. My advise is to get a genuine Kodak klic-8000 rechargeable battery. As far as the actual charger goes, you will probably do ok with a generic charger. A Kodak battery sells from 25.00 to 29.00 and a generic is probablyless than 10.00, however it is probably not as good.We think it is a GREAT camera...especially when on sale for 150.00 or so.
